Prova Régia Branco

Description

Prova Régia Prova Régia is an iconic ambassador of Bucelas wines. With more than two decades of history, and produced entirely from the Arinto grape, it reflects the lightness and freshness of the terroir of the only DOC exclusively for white wines in Portugal. Bucelas is one of Portugal’s smallest regions, located just 20 km from Lisbon, nestled between high hills and narrow valleys. It enjoys a moderate climate, with cold winters and sun‑filled summers accompanied by fresh breezes, and calcareous soils ideal for white wines. Acquired by Sogrape in 2019, the 300‑year‑old Quinta da Romeyra is emblematic in Bucelas. The vineyard covers roughly half of the region’s total area and is planted with Arinto, the main grape of this exclusive white‑wine DO. The various plots, altitudes, slopes, soils and exposures of the estate, combined with meticulous winemaking, produce a wide range of intense and delicious wines that gain even greater expressiveness with age. Vinification: The grapes are cooled, destemmed and pressed. After three days of cold, static decantation, the must is clarified and fermented in stainless‑steel tanks at controlled temperatures between 14‑16 °C. Maturation: Lees contact in stainless‑steel vats for four months. Enjoy: The balance between freshness and body makes this wine an excellent companion for a variety of occasions. Ideal to drink neat or pair with salads, seafood dishes and even some grilled meats. Winemaker: Luís Cabral Almeida. Allergen information: Contains sulfites. SKU: 107587
